I like your metaphoric poetic anguage: "high on lust and greed with one leg facing the future and another stuck in the past." Yes, it takes strength to be gentle and kind, and I think you've made a good point about if it hurts, you're doing it right! A good message for me to take to heart.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948842741836364444.post-80236624018341254882013-11-24T12:25:28.445+01:002013-11-24T12:25:28.445+01:00A splendid reflection of life.
